Cute design!! I can enjoy using a mini square pad, but not a wired one. Make this as a wireless one, and take my 100 bucks. Wired one? my answer is NO. If someone give me 100 bucks to put this on my desk, still my answer is NO. 1000 bucks? Let me see... my answer is NO.

Thanks Very Much! My first time watching QMK tutes by Mechmerlin and installing everything still left me scratching my head I read yuor post and bingo worked like a charm. your post should be pinned to the top of this thread :)

Look at the circuit board. You should see a rectangular box that has the letters "RE" in it. Use a short wire to short the two holes within the box. Sorry about the lag in replying :)

I don't think anyone designed it - they copied an existing design off an existing keyboard, which is one that I made.

MechKeysCAeh maybe... I think this is copy of taichi pad which could be inspired by mechmini. Taichi pad made by this guy https://www.reddit.com/user/yangdigi

Nice clone of Mechmini 2 design :)

MechKeysCADo you have a ~16 key macropad available? Because the Mechmini 2 is about 3x as many keys as I want or need.

MechKeysCAits more like a less feature filled taichi pad

XiKThe spec says this pad is QMK compatible, however I don't see it listed in the QMK repsository on github. I'm guessing it is the same design as some other PCB that is already available....which board should I be looking at to find the files?

Why must all these keypad cases be so needlessly HUGE? I don't need more wasted space on my desk for massive, pointless bezels and enclosures.

FredericoRight, it is bulky, heavy looking and overly rounded like an ugly phone. Definitely not a masterpiece from a designer's point of view.

LibertyIt's because they took the design from my Mechmini 2 case, and turned it into a numpad.

Massdrop: How about some pinout information on this board ? - information on how to reset/program the board and where to find the QMK support for the board would be greatly appreciated. It does not appear to be present in the latest iteration of qmk_master on github - at least under the guise of bm-16a. Not a newbie here, but need a little more info. Thanks!

That's why it's a rip-off and not a good copy. :P

Does this need soldering to install the switches?

I'm not familiar with shipping to Sweden. I normally order parts from these sites: Keyboard parts

Soldering gear

I use this solder
I'm using a cheap Radio Shack soldering iron right now, but Wirecutter has recommendations

Also I will echo cr0n1c here and say that you can do a really "bad" job and everything still works. It's a fairly forgiving skill from what I've seen so far. You just have to be careful and pay attention.
